It's late, and I've had a backwards thought; probebly wrong and possibly dumb; but if most of the cards signed are different, would that make the few signed the same the more rare card?

You're correct, but w/o knowing how many of each "variant" msg autograph card Billy Drago signed and whether he signed them as Billy Drago or Billy E. Drago, one would have no idea which is the more rare. And Inkworks won't say. And what shows up on eBay is only a portion of those pulled. Many will either not put theirs up for sale or not know (or care) about the various msg variants. So unless Billy Drago kept a log of how many he signed of each, and one can get that information from him, that'll remain another mystery.

"I am a WATCHER, part of a secret society of men and women who observe and record but never interfere, we know the truth about immortals ....... In the end there can be only one !"

A-HA! I detect an epic quest here! Maybe a movie - "The Search For Every Last Drago Sig" starring Tom Cruise as Billy Drago, and Nicole Kidman as LesleyW - a woman on a mission to find all the variations of the Billi Drago signature. Special cameo appearence by Billy Drago as Harris Toser.

Could be the next summer surprise hit!

I got the impression from Allan C. that he thought Drago signed every card differently. I'd have posted sooner, but I just recalled the discussion. (It was a long day at WW.)
An interesting stream of consciousness if he signed every card in one sitting.
Mine is: "The Sickness spread quickly. Even the flowers died."

They definitely aren't all signed differently since I've seen many on the list twice and "Yours in fear" many times (probably the most common one, Drago had to get tired at some point and that's the shortest one).

2 more as well.

"At the end is only fear"

"The taste of fear is sweet"

Both signed Billy E. Drago

Willow: "Yeah, I-I know, but... it's a whole night. I don't think I can sleep without her."
Anya: "You can sleep with me. Well, now that came out a lot more lesbian than it sounded in my head."

I just got my first Billy Drago from a box and its a gem
'At the end of time the last survivor will be fear'. .

Awesome signature card if ever there was one.

How about Hugh Jackman as Billy Drago and LesleyW as LesleyW .

Unfortunately I can't contribute to the thread as neither of my boxes contained a Billy Drago auto. Though I wish that the box which contained the A9 auto had.

My first post !!

I have 3 new variants:
1.) We all pay rent in the house of fear
2.) His daddy pleaded with him pleaded with him - with confused and nearly dead dead eyes
3.) The end of hope is the end of fear

I will put all 3 on ebay today

Although when I first saw the auto list without the card images his wasn't one of the autos that made me think "This is a card I want". That did change when I saw how much of an effort he had put in and how varied the cards were.

At the time (before the images) I wouldn't have said this, but I would prefer the Billy Drago card over the Julian McMahon card. Of the cards listed the Billy Drago card makes my top 5 wants, which for anyone who may be interested - Alyssa Milano, Rose McGowan, Adrian Paul, Elizabeth Gracen, Billy Drago. Any of the other auto cards in the set I would be happy to get (except for two) but those are the five that would make me go Yes! when I pulled them out of the pack.

Lesley

Firstly welcome YVI to Card Talk

Secondly.. I was going to get all of the variants when i thought there was only about 7!!!! Now I will be happy with just 1.

Dave

.... I can only please one person per day. Today is not your day, and tomorrow isn't looking good either....

Sorry, where are my manners? It's a good job you're here David.

Welcome to CardTalk Yvi, hope you have a great time here and you'll be posting lots.

Lesley

--- Yvi:

- Welcome to Card Talk. Thank you for your 2 entries to the "Billy Drago/Billy E. Drago" wall of Fear messages. Looks like it's going to be mighty bug one, once it's complete.

"I am a WATCHER, part of a secret society of men and women who observe and record but never interfere, we know the truth about immortals ....... In the end there can be only one !"

Wow, this has got to be the most talked about surprise card this year. Perhapse a NSU interview is in the works to find out about his reasoning behind his unique style.

I can only imagine the thoughts going through his head when he did that. "Well, since I'm going up against two of the sisters and two immortals I guess I'd better do something."

<-o-> He's like the pope for the dark side of the Force. He's a holy man; a shaman, kind of, albeit an evil one.

I wonder if there is some way we could collectively show our appreciation for the effort he put into making his card special.

I've seen another one on Ebay which I don't think is on our list yet.

Fear is only an energy like love.

Sorry I didn't write down what signature he used on the card.

Lesley

Oh and one more, and I got the signature this time:-

To sleep with fear is to seek the dawn.(Billy E. Drago)

Lesley

Speaking of variations......

- there may be one on the backs of the "Charmed: Power of Three" PieceWorks Cards.
CLICK HERE to see what was discovered (and to respond if you have it also).

Okay,

Two more .

In fear we trust - didn't get the signature, sorry I forget that bit 'cause I'm more interested in the phrase.

Ain't fear great Thanks Billy E. Drago.

Lesley

Maybe if someone could find out his agent's contact details, we could express our appreciation of the effort Mr Drago has put into this?

The man deserves a round of applause at the very least, for injecting a little variety into the collector's mundane life!
